Car dies/stalls at random when moving. Have been going 70 MPH down the rd and it has happened. When this happens it causes us to lose powered steering. This is extremely dangerous! It has stalled/died at various speeds. Sometimes soon starting the vehicle will die right away. Alternator has been replaced and that is not the issue.
2013 Chrysler Town and Country engine complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 112, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving and the van shut off and lost all power when going 60 MPH. I lost control off the brakes, power steering, all electrical and engine power was gone.
The engine seizes without warning. It simply shuts off. This effectively limits both the breaking and the power steering. This is dangerous as there are no warning light indicators, no audible notifications, no error codes. Going 70 MPH we were nearly killed when the motor died and we lost our breaking and steering ability. This has happened on multiple occasions with no rhyme nor reason. Long trips or short, fast or slow, interstate or in town. It needs to be addressed as this is a major issue. A cursory glance at internet forums will reveal that mine is not simply an isolated event.
The doors lock and trunk doesn't take the lock. Sound front suspension, front seat adjustment, can't use hand free system
The van randomly shuts down while driving this makes it hard to steer and could cause an accident because of the power loss and steering. The van must be shifted into neutral or park to restart. This can be very difficult especially on the highway. Sometimes it smells like an electrical fire. It has been looked at by several mechanics with nothing found. *ln
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while the driving at approximately 70 to 80 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle was driven safely to the residence. However, while attempting to restart the vehicle several days later the vehicle failed to start up. The vehicle was towed to pinckney chrysler, dodge dealer 1295 east main 36 street pinckney, mi 48169, phone number: 734‑878‑3154 to have a diagnostic test performed. The diagnostic located the failure code at the total integrated power module. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in the integrated power module recall. A case was opened. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
On august 14 , 2019 my van broke down on the interstate. A few hours later my car started back up. I continued to drive my car until about 2 weeks later it broke down again on the interstate. Since that time I have had over 10 brake downs that occured intermittently without any sort of pattern to the frequency or serverity. My car stalled without warning and shut down while in motion. My car loss power and became hard to steer and the brake assist shut down. There were no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problems. Because of this sudden shut down it has become extremely dangerous and alarming to the safety of myself and family to drive. After the first two incidents I took my car to the chrysler dealership, and paid for a diagnostic test. They concluled that they could not duplicate stalling conditions and therefore no resolution to the problem was given. After the problem continued I took my car to another local repair shop. They advise me of several possible problems based on the check engine code. I have spent countless of hours and money to find out what is wrong with my van. I have been given various recommendation: replacing thermostate, gaskets and coolant temp sensor, erg valve replacement, bad icm, bad ESC module, bad key fob, bad ignition node, crank sensors, module coil pack, tipm replacement and the list go on and on. To resolve this problem, I would appreciate that chrysler corporation pin point the problem and provide a repair option that does not require me to replace every single part of my vehicle to be able to safely drive again. I need to know what pre-existing problems that you are aware of that has caused the 2013 chrysler town and country to stall randomly and to start back up after 30 minutes. I have contacted chrysler and was provided a case number.
Oil filter housing / oil filter adapter - oil leak oil leaks onto engine due to faulty design on all 2011 - 2014 town & country models. The only fix is replacement of the adapter housing which is 4 hours labor and roughly $150 part from dealer. Dealer wants over $700 and claims they do two of these per day. This penstar 3.6l engine is used on all town & country, jeep grand cherokee, and ram 1500s.
My engine light keeps appearing after almost 3 years of owning this vehicle. It usually occurs when I turn on the heating system and have already been in motion for awhile. Typically while driving on the highway. The last occurrence was city driving but again when the heating system was turned on. I have my vehicle at the shop again and the mechanic is saying it is something regarding the oil. Something about a vacuum. I also assume there is something wrong with the electrical system. Within the first few days of owning my vehicle it was back at the dealership for 2 weeks. The radio always turns off on it's own and some of the dash components. Which it still does almost 3 years into owning this vehicle.
Car continue to turn off. Engine and electric problem as well. Took it to numerous auto repair shops and waisted a lot of money. Nothing got fixed said it's a manufacturing problem, mechanics try to fix but failed to do to it's a manufacturing problem. Recall these vans!!! Kids are in these van's and they just cutt off in the middle of the highway and I've changed out everything, nothing works! Shuts off randomly in the streets and highways! Big safety hassard!! Recall them all! My cousin has a dodge one and it does the exact samething.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact called carolina chrysler dodge jeep ram (located at 1001 halstead blvd, elizabeth city, nc 27909, 252‑335‑0724) and was informed that there was a misfire on cylinder number four. The vehicle's coil and plug were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact found a tsb for the federal safety agency id number: 10136484 (fuel system, gasoline, engine, fuel system, other) that related to the failure. The manufacturer stated that due to the date the vehicle was manufactured, it would not be covered under the tsb. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.
I keep getting the same misfire codes 0306 0303. I've changed coils and sparkplugs and still, the check engine light stays on.
Checked over vehicle and confirmed customer complaint. Active code cylinder two misfire. Swapped coil and plug. Misfire remain. Performed compressor test and found cylinder two has 105 psi of compression (low). Fault/warped left side cylinder head. Left side cylinder head needs replacement.
The seat belt release is sticking and won't clamp the seat belt. Engine had a slight tick when purchased an tucking has became worst. Electrical dvd is short and won't operate. Side panel on van and modern like mine missing.
2013 chrysler town and country stalls with now warning or error cause car to lose power steering and coast to a stop. It has happened with no patter at various speeds and types of driving. It is a very dangerous as it has happened many times often at hight speeds and in traffic. I have seen that many others have had this same safety issue and no resolution has come of it.
My vehicle shuts down randomly. I can be going 55mph, 45 MPH, 35mph, 25mph, 10mph, at a stop light, as well as turning, it has happened during any and all of those. No turn signals, power steering, brakes. Been happening months. 1 dealer and 2 mechanics cannot find any issue. Occured 7 times today in a 3 mile round trip.
Van will shut off while driving between the speeds of 20 to 40. No warnings or signs just stops running. We have had the van scanned and no codes or issues the tech had us replace the batter but the issue is still occurring and with more research on the web this is a common problem with no solution. This is happened multiple times and is very dangerous. We purchased the van used and there seems to be no recalls for it.
The AC went out and after diagnosis the issue is that the rear AC coil has seized up and will not release to be repaired
Vehicle stalls intermittently and shifts off while driving, in reverse, especially at stop lights.
2013 engine shuts off within first 7 minutes of driving. No warning it doesn't stall and radio GPS and other components stay on just engine shuts off. This happens about 60% of the time. First time was on highway after driving 5 minutes going 60 MPH shut off and it actually turned itself back out without me doing anything. Another time was after driving 3 minutes at a stop sign started to go and car shut off after 1/4 mile I had to pull over to restart. It's shut off dozens of times regardless of speed or location. 2nd to last time it happened I was going over railroad track at about 15 MPH and last time it happened I was driving on highway at 70 MPH. Once it happened in my driveway, I though idling it a while before driving would help but it shut off when I adjusted my steering wheel after idling for 7 mins.
The win module on the ignition fails causing the car not to start, appears to be dead.
Vehicle shuts down with no advance warning! There are no error or fault codes stored in the PCM. Very dangerous while operating on the highway. The vehicle is totally disabled when this occurs. The condition seems to be a common problem with chrysler products as described on the internet. Someone (fed. Govt.) should immediately launch an investigation into this serious and/or deadly situation. The vehicle has approximately 74000 miles on the odometer. Someone please help! Today it happened three times.
2013 chrysler town and country touring randomly shuts off while driving. It's happened 3 times in a parking lot, 1 time in my driveway in reverse, and one time on the highway traveling at 55+ MPH. I lose power steering, power brakes, and probably more. If I put the vehicle in neutral and turn the key it has fired back up.
While driving the van, it randomly stalls and everything goes dead on the car. The ignition does not turn over, it just keeps cranking.after a while it starts back up and then it eventually happens again. This happens at high speeds and low speed and just leaves you stranded. No dealer knows the problem. It is very unsafe. It happened to my family in a highway.
Driving on freeway at night # 2 lane at about 74 MPH engine just shut off was almost hit by 3 cars. Made it to shoulder engine would not restart etc (electronic throttle control) light was illuminated. Called aaa tow truck driver could not start vehicle . Had van towed about 15 miles. I rode with tow truck. When van was dropped off got inside to stay warm until my ride arrived. Tried again to start van was successful but check engine light came on. Just bought this used van from a honda dealer in costa mesa as a used car. It has about 65,411 miles. Very, very dangerous almost got hit 3 times as I made my way over to the shoulder.
Van stalls while moving on city streets. Dash cluster lights up then shuts down, loss of power, steering, braking. Sometime restarts on it's own while still in gear, if coming to a complete stop, must put in park to restart. This is the third time reporting it to the chrysler dealership with no resolution. This problem has been reported to the federal safety agency several times involving the chrysler town and country. Why has the federal safety agency not demander a recall...these vehicles are unsafe to drive!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. Once the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally.

Beginning in august 2018, while driving, my 2013 t+c will simply shut off. No warnings, no lights, no noises, nothing. The vehicle simply shuts off. This has happened 6 times over the past 4 months. When this happens, my speed has been anywhere between 5-35 MPH. It happens closer to when I first start my car after sitting overnight or for 8+ hours. Also happens when I am slowing down. I was able to get the vehicle started each time it's happened, but this is extremely dangerous as I have no power in the car (no steering, very limited brakes, etc). This issue seems to be a regular occurrence with this vehicle. What is being done to correct this dangerous issue?
Vehicle turns off while driving; losing power steering. Extremely unsafe.
